I've been going to Gentle Dental Coburg Station for some time now. I really like Dr. Wang and my hygienist, Becca. I'm prone to gum disease and Becca's kept it from getting a good foothold. And Dr. Wang has saved a couple of teeth that surprised me. Without going to extreme measures I might add. He knows what he's doing! I love the whole staff there also. Edna is so nice, and the ladies handling the business end, Katie, Julie and Val are so professional and nice. And they put up with my nonsense so that's a huge plus!

I, like most people, am not a huge fan of going to the dentist BUT I picked this dental office when I moved to Eugene a couple years ago and I am so glad! Every time I go in the entire staff is wonderful! The front desk ladies are nice and efficient. All the hygienists and dental assistants are helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. I work with doctors and I can say that Dr. Wang is hands down the nicest doctor I have ever met. His demeanor is fun and lighthearted. He never acts like his time is more important than yours. He explains things while he does them and answers all of my questions thoroughly. I am very grateful for the care I receive here.

Becca is my hygienist. She's fast and efficient. She's pleasant, composed and has miles of smiles. Dr. Wang, Julie and Melissa are also part of the team who cared for me today. They have attitudes and characteristics quite similar to Becca's.

Thomas Shepard, we are very happy we could provide you with a positive experience!

**Updated 11/6/17** First, I’ll just say that the entire office is absolutely wonderful! Julie & Valerie are great!! Very warm, friendly & welcoming! Rebecca is an AWESOME hygienist! She’s very professional. Gentle, yet extremely skilled, and very affable. All those things are a great combination in any dental professional! She listens to all of my concerns and answers all my questions. After my cleanings, she explains the outcome, and whether or not any problems or issues were uncovered. I’ve had a couple other hygienists since becoming a patient at the Coburg Station office, and they were great as well! I would absolutely recommend any of the others that I’ve had in the past! I met Dr. Tillman (& his assistant Trish) for the first time, at this most recent visit, and he fits in very well with your office. Very professional and friendly. He is a great guy & definitely a really good dentist!! The ENTIRE staff is awesome, and they all make what is USUALLY an anxiety-filled experience, MUCH easier to get through!! Overall, I’m extremely happy with, and grateful for the service I’ve received from Gentle Dental Coburg Station! In my opinion, the people & the practice, definitely live up to the name! That’s SO important! My mom was a dental assistant for 25 years, so as a kid, I NEVER missed appointments—But I still HATED going! I’m very happy and grateful to say that I no longer DREAD going to the dentist— So, Thank You Very Much, To The Whole Coburg Station Office! The ONE CONTRARY THING I would say, is that I DO miss DR. Jason Ellis quite a bit! He was, and is, a phenomenal dentist, and a great guy!...I was VERY disappointed to learn that he had left the office!! ...Otherwise you guys at Gentle Dental Coburg Station are absolutely awesome! Friendly, professional and accommodating. I’ve recommended your office to several people, and will continue to do so! I have to come back in, in a few days, so I’ll be there soon, & you’ll all have to deal with “That guy from Boston”, again! Kudos To Everyone At The Coburg Station Office! Thanks Again, So Much! —Bob Pettine

Best dental office ever! Thanks to Dr. Wong for replacing the final amalgam in the worst location in my mouth due to small jaw and weirdly placed torus. You had a tough job and, by golly, you succeeded with honors. Thanks to Julie and the entire staff for putting up with me for a few extra hours as an old injury plus ancient Lasik surgery caused me to see double for a heck of a long time. Not only were the staff incredible the other patients in the waiting room were amazingly supportive reinforcing my love for this community. Best darned dentist. Best darned staff.

I've been going to Jason Ellis for at least six years. A great guy . When I discovered a loose, decaying tooth the day before I was to leave on vacation, he came in early the next day and took care of me.

Gentle Dental is AMAZING. Don't listen to any bad review you see. Dr Ellis, although at his own practice now, did amazing things with my dental situation. I came in 3 years ago with the worst mouth of teeth you could imagine and now as I sit and type this I have a mouth of pearly whites. Complete mouth restoration in about 3 years, my insurance covered almost all of it, and Jason was a super friendly and accommodating dude the entire time. I will miss him as my dentist and hope my future appointments go as well.

I am terrified of dentists. When I had to have my wisdom teeth pulled Dr. Ellis was my dentist. He asked me some questions and I replied then I asked him when he was going to start the shots to numb my gum area and he said he was already done. I didn't feel a thing!!!! And the Dental Assistant was so kind and thoughtful, she held my hand the entire time he was pulling my teethand didn't mind my almost bone crushing grip on her hand. Always kind and willing to work in payments if necessary. Absolutely lovely place and people!!!

Everyone is always very polite to me as soon as I walk in the door. They are very good about calling you if they have an opening for a sooner apointment. The dentist's and assistants do great work and make sure that you arn't in any pain. This is the best dental office I've been to!

The staff is very friendly; they bother to remember and call me by my name. I've always been afraid of the dentist and I hate it as a result. But Dr. Ellis is wonderful, he always checks up on me during the procedures to make sure I am in no pain or discomfort. He is also very perceptive on physical cues as sometimes I twitch or groan and he immediately stops, which I appreciate. I also love the hygienist that works here, her name escapes me (the irony!), she's so funny and always puts me at east. My only complaint is how busy their scheduling is and I always end up having to schedule at least month in advance!

On Oct 17, 2015 you gave us this review: 5.0 /5 Everyone in this office is so nice and friendly.. They call me by name when I walk in the door.. Dr. Ellis is a wonderful dentist and really cares about what is going on with you and does his best to make you feel at ease.

It had been six years since I had been to the dentist, so I was prepared for the worst when in went in to get a chipped tooth fixed. Dr. Ellis and company did a great job of making me feel at ease, and fortunately for me, no cavities! We had planned on a simple procedure to fix the chip, which turned into a bigger procedure once we got into it. At not point in this did they talk about costs, or their schedule, simply on what was going to work best for me. When everything was done, my smile looked great, and they basically charged me for what they had planned on doing, and not the much bigger, better procedure! Great work, great people. Thank you!
